I'm not sure if you'e asking about Pattaya or HH? If Pattaya, I know of none. However, there are about 8 courses anywhere between a 30 and 45 minute drive. Pete :cheers:

These two sites offer golf packages and hotels:

www.gtaasia.com

www.fairway-golf-tours.com

Or maybe contact AGP Golf Tours to see what they have available.

I have sent some friends to AGP and the service has been spot on. Not sure whether they deal with pattaya, but you can always ask. Laem Cha Bang is a must play. ENJOY

Good mate of mine operates http://www.solargolf.co.uk/ out of Pattaya.

Reliable, honest (for a Scot! :mrgreen: ) and always a fun day out.

Can arrange a full tour or just days out if you like.

Drop him an email. :cheers:

HH golf lessons

Post by WingNut »

Any suggestions on golf lessons? I would like to get lessons for both my wife and I. Maybe a 2 hour lesson on day one, then a refresher on day two and a nine holer? I am a Happy Gilmore type, in that I play hockey and am extremely novice on golf. I have played but my mechanicas are way off. My wife is a novice as well.

But there is a web site that "hint" appeals to "Thai golfers" that you should be able to find pretty easily.

They have information on all courses in Thailand and you can even join and print out a discount card which some of the courses will offer (Imperial Lake View is one member of their program)

Excellent source complete with reviews from members so you can get the current condition of the courses from an unbiased source

you may want to think of George Bush's middle initial three times, then the word "Thai" and the word "golfer" with no spaces. Then just be calm, or com

one more thing

Post by bunthom »

If you are going to play that much golf in Pattaya area, you may want to consider joining the Pattaya Sports Club (I think a one year membership is 400 baht or so, plus you need to bring a passport size photo)

The have a 25 percent discount program for all of the courses on the peninsula (about 38 at last count) so you can pay for the card in a couple of rounds. Plus, they organize outings and fun tournaments and work with a group of bars to organize golf days every day of the week so you can share transportation

They too have a web site, but alas, as a person with less than 10 posts, I cannot include it. Google "Pattaya Sports Club" and go from there. Have fun
